# How Saturn Protects Your Trades from MEV Risks

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) can lead to unfair trading practices like front-running, where others profit by manipulating transactions. Saturn has implemented smart solutions to keep your trades safe and fair:

1. #### Secure BTC to Rune Swaps

* Immutable Transactions: Your transactions are signed securely so they can't be changed once sent.
* Your Benefit: Eliminates the risk of someone intercepting or altering your trade.

2. **Protected Rune to BTC Swaps**

* Pooled Transactions with CPFP: Saturn pools user transactions and uses a method called Child Pays for Parent (CPFP), where each transaction supports the next.
* Your Benefit: Makes it nearly impossible for attackers to interfere with your trade.

3. ####  Transparent, User-Controlled Liquidity Pools

* Non-Custodial Pools: You always maintain control of your funds.
* Transparency: All operations are open, so you know exactly what's happening.
* Your Benefit: No hidden manipulation—just fair and secure trading.

4. #### Fair Transaction Ordering

* First-In, First-Out Processing: Transactions are processed exactly in the order they arrive.
* Future Enhancements: Saturn is working on cryptographic methods to guarantee transaction order can't be tampered with.
* Your Benefit: Ensures no one can jump the line or reorder trades to their advantage.
